The Fan & The Critic

The Fan & The Critic

Carson and Paolo love movies. They don't always love the same movies — and that's the whole show. Two suburban dads who probably spend more time thinking about film than is healthy — get together every month or so, bring in some friends, and talk about movies for way too long. Sometimes it's a deep dive into a genre. Sometimes it's a year-end list that causes more conflict than it should. Sometimes we're not totally sure what it is, but we had a good time making it and hopefully you'll have a good time listening to it. Instagram: thefanandthecriticAll rights reserved Art

    Movies Featuring Wrestlers (feat. Austin and Ben)

    We talk about movies featuring current/former wrestlers. These are not movies about wrestlers, but instead usually "bad" action movies with wrestlers in the lead or supporting roles. We then each rate these movies on 4 categories and Ben uses his advanced analytics to determine the King of the Hill of the Fan & The Critic. Instagram: thefanandthecritic

    Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has us thinking about every Greek mythology movie ever made — so Ben and David join Carson and Paolo to crown the best Zeus and Hercules, argue over which myths Hollywood still hasn't touched, and cast our own Greek Mythology Cinematic Universe.

    Formative Movie Moments (feat. Ben and Elon)
    Mar 10 2026
    Ben and Elon stop by to talk about the movies that made us who we are — the ones we watched too young, the ones that hit different now, and the ones we're a little embarrassed to admit shaped us. It starts sentimental, gets weird, gets serious, then gets weird again, and somehow ends with a horror movie game. Instagram: thefanandthecritic
